Header Clearance with no air
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/slofords/Chevelle/014.jpg

[MarkM66]

How much lower then the frame do those headers hang?

[InMotionJosh]

Not sure exactly. Maybe this picture will help.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/slofords/Chevelle/010-2.jpg

[HotRod68Camaro]

:wow: i don't see those lasting you very long.

[InMotionJosh]

:wow: i don't see those lasting you very long.

Keep in mind the car has air bags and that is with the air all the way out. Ride height will be 2-3 inches higher.:thumbsup:

[InMotionJosh]

I know I shouldnt let this out of the bag yet but I just cant sit on these pictures. We put the body back on to check for clearances so that the tranny tunnel could be made. Body work is starting now but this is just back from media blast and primered.

Let me know what you think. Lots of new pics coming in the next week or so, be on the lookout.

How far are the headers from the floor pan? I'd be worried about those hanging that low.

I just moched up a BBC in my '66, and the headers were about 1.5" from the floor, but didn't apear to hang as low as yours. I ended up taking about 1" off each tube to get them tight to the floors. Not they're up a little more then the stock crossmember.

[G-Body]

Wow awesome whats not to like about the baddest muscle car ever built!
and my person favoriate aswell as a 70 GTO damn nice ride bro keep up the good work!:bow:

Keep in mind the car has air ride and that is with no air in the bags. The headers are about 2 inches from the ground, maybe slightly less but the car would not be able to drive at that height. I think they will ride about 4.5-5 inches from the road.

[InMotionJosh]

Just a couple more pictures from today. Just added some corvette valve covers and painted my intake until the new bling shows up.
Also got my 3.5" Aluminum drive shaft from Inland Empire Drive Line. Just wanted to thank everyone at Inland Empire, great service, fast turn around, and they make it very easy to order the right piece the first time. Top quality! THANKS!

Finally back to work on the car!

Finally got the Synister Serpentine Kit Installed(ps dont ever buy from them). Also the body is just about done and ready for paint which hopefully will happen this week. Also the interior is coming along nicely. You can see the custom dash test fit here. Its made of fiberglass and only weights 15lbs. There will be matching door panels and console as well.

Mal

I have questioned the same thing. The company that makes it says there will be no problem as they have done 100s of them. I will wrap the box and or the header with some heat tape to protect it.

[Alex396ss]

Great progression, I love this build!

Alex

[tones2SS]

Build is coming along great!!!:thumbsup:
Nice choice in car and engine. Keep us posted.:yes: :thumbsup:

[slenning]

Wow!! Very nice:yes: Keep the pictures coming. Can't wait to see it done.

[InMotionJosh]

Some new bling showed up today from Abear Motorsports. www.abearmotorsports.com

The fit was perfect and the finish was even better. They turned them around from the time I ordered them and got them the info for the engraving in a very short time. They are perfect and couldnt ask for more. I really like that they hide the coils. I would highly recomend them to anyone who might be looking for some nice LS valve covers.

MirandaBuilt made some good progress on the car today. Jeremy fabbed up the exhaust system. Dustin installed the Rock Valley Fuel tank and plumbed it. I want to thank Rock Valley, Red Horse, and Magnaflow for all the parts for this build. The Magnaflow mufflers, high flow cats, and stainless tubing were top notch and great to work with. Rock Valley sent this beautiful stainless tank with internal pump, and Red Horse sent all the black fittings.
